A piece of paradise
The property exceeded our expectations in every way possible. It was all that we had ever dreamed of, a place to find complete peace of mind. The house was just like you would expect a Greek Island farmhouse in the mountains and it had all amenities needed. Our timing helped too, as June seemed to be a quieter and cooler period but warm to enjoy the terrace even at night and the water in the sea was just perfect. Georgia was a master super/Host, she gave us lots of interesting facts about the islands history and culture and also shared fresh fruits and vegetables from her garden. She makes the best (and I mean it) the very best Dolmades i have ever tasted. We were even fortunate to be invited to a wedding at the Akamatra square. Georgia had a cat and we adopted another one and there were also 5 tiny kittens roaming. So we will be back again...

Secluded paradise ideal for "fit" adventurers with time to explore
My husband and I chose Ikaria to celebrate our 70 and 80th birthdays. We wanted a lovely, remote, calm setting and this Akamatra farmhouse couldn't have been more perfect for the celebration. In our rental car, it took us approximately 2 hours to arrive at the Akamatra square. Be prepared to drive 20 km/hr on narrow roads with occasional goats crossing the roads! On the night of our arrival, Georgia, our hostess met us in the Akamatra village square on her motorcycle, guided us to our lodging and helped us up the rugged drive with our bags (our car could not make the climb, so we left it at the base of the hill). Throughout our stay, Georgia was patient with our endless questions, generous with her time and treated us to some of the fruits/vegetables/herbs from her garden. We loved her companionship and conversation! The property itself is located on a rugged, mountainous hillside, with a breathtaking view of the Agean Sea and is nestled among many plants/trees cultivated by Georgia. I cooked most of our meals, found all the needed cookware in the kitchen. I purchased delicious bread and meal ingredients from the Akamatra and Evdilos bakeries, minimart and grocery stores. Pharmacies and gas is available 7 km away in Evdilos. For our 2-week stay, we brought a minimum of clothing, as we'd known a washing machine was available on site. With the humidity, the clothing took 2 days to dry. Many a day we set out in the morning to explore the port of Evdilos and other island towns. Akamatra is centrally located on the island and an ideal base camp. The only downfall for the entire time was our age. Had we been younger and more fit, we would have been able to hike the many island paths, surf, swim in the thermal waters, and enjoy Ikaria to its fullest. Renting motor cycles would also have enabled us to get to even the remotest locations on the island. Regardless, we were enchanted by our stay at the Akamatra farmhouse and recommend it to those wanting a remote island getaway. This fits the bill!

Excellent stay at Georgia's house
The stonehouse is very nice with 2 bedrooms at the first floor an a very well equiped kitchen. The terrace is big and calm and offer a fantastic sea view. Georgia, the owner, is really nice. She gave us tomatoes from her garden, jam that she made and was always asking if we needed something else. We spent time with her speaking of Ikaria and she gave us lots of great advices.

Loved the stay in Akamatra, Georgia made sure we were looked after. The traditional house is full of charm and every possible need for a home life is there- I've never been to such a well stocked house, that allowed me to enjoy the view for as long as possible.

Amazing summer Akamatra farmhouse
We spent the summer at the Akamatra farmhouse, loved every minute of it, from the spectacular views of the sea and mountains, to its tranquil setting, beautiful flower, vegatable gardens, wild herbs growing everywhere. One of our favorite things to do, sit on the terrace sip and eat the local wine, food with the owner Georgiana telling stories and sharing laughter. I could go on but you must experience this sanctuary on your own. Thanks Georgiana for this truly unique experience!

Ikaria at it's finest!
Staying at Georgia's beautiful and amazing home is the true Ikarian experience! Georgia was extremely helpful with any questions I had. Her property has many gardens areas with fresh rosemary, sage, cherry tomatoes etc. the Uwe every morning was breathtaking! And at night the stars were all out and about. It is a peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The village of Akamatra is 10 minute walk that has restaurants and a mini market. I highly suggest you rent a car or a bike because the other areas a bit of a distance away. Also if staying in the summer you should bring some mosquito repellent. They tend to stay up in the mountains :) I would definitely return and stay at Georgia's home again. I am extremely grateful for the experience ! Thank you Georgia!!!

A beautiful month at Akamatra Farm!
My husband and I spent a wonderful month (May/June) in Georghia's place above the village of Akamatra and can't imagine a better way to come to know Ikaria. The view was lovely and there were many excellent possibilities for walks along dirt roads and paths in the valley and the surrounding mountains. Since Akamatra is almost precisely in the center of the island, it also makes a terrific base for exploration of the entire island by car. Moreover, Georghia is an ideal host, generous and kind, always there when you need her but also respectful of privacy. She is an incredible resource in terms of her knowledge of farming, flora and fauna, and local history and culture. The house is surrounded by small farmed terraces--Georghia's and the neighbor's--and we were kept in fresh (organically grown) strawberries, apricots, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis and fresh herbs. We enjoyed getting to know the neighboring farmer, as well as the billy goat and Dick the dog. The house itself traditional--which is to say small and rustic, and extremely well built. The kitchen is very nice, and it has a built-in sitting area that makes it double as a cosy (if tiny) living space. But the best place to hang out is on the terraces outside, which provide both sun and shade for relaxation and dining. Akamatra's taverna is really excellent, and the sweet village has a tiny but well stocked store, a bakery, and at least two cafes. We hope to return to Ikaria, and if we do, we'll definitely be in touch with Georghia!

The sweet spot
Georgia's house is perfect for those who wants to taste the relaxed mood of the island. The house is beautiful, surrounded by the sound and the smell of nature. Perfect for a trip with friends or family (the two rooms communicate each other), the house is logistically speaking among the best choice as it is in the middle of the Island. Georgia is a wonderful host, always available to give tips, talk about the history of the island, and concern about the guests' staying. I'd love to come back

Una chicca in mezzo alla natura
Splendido edificio d’epoca, ristrutturato divinamente e immerso nella natura di Ikaria, da cui si respira il vero spirito dell’isola. Caratteristico anche il paese in cui si trova. Nelle vicinanze c’è anche un ottimo ristorante. Ovviamente, trovandosi la residenza in campagna, non è mancata la consistente presenza di animali (galli, capre, zanzare, mosche, vespe…). L’host è estremamente simpatica e disponibile. Utilissimo il libro su Ikaria trovato all’interno della casa.

amazingly beautiful
we've stayed at Georgia's farmhouse for almost 2 weeks and fell in love with it. The place is situated in a most beautiful scenery not far above the little town of Akamatra and can be reached from there by foot. If you plan to see more from the island, the rental of a motor-driven vehicle is recommeded. Georgia lives close by and provided us with vegetables and herbs from her garden and shared her extensive knowledge about Ikaria and nature with us. The house itself is an old farmhouse that was renovated with lots of skills and should be seen as a good example as it should be. We are impressed how lovely someone can live.

Einfach nur schön
Wir waren bereits zum zweiten Mal in dem schönen rustikalen Haus. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Alles nötige ist vorhanden. Die Waschmaschine ist bei einem längeren Aufenthalt ein großer Zugewinn - es spart Gepäck. Unseres Erachtens waren die Betten ein wenig hart. Es gibt zusätzliche Decken bei Bedarf. Im Bad hatten wir stets warmes Wasser. Die Küche ist mit dem nötigsten ausgestattet. Den Kaffee kann man mit einem Teekessel erwärmen. Es gibt einen Backofen in dem man Speisen zubereiten kann. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und er teilt gerne Auskünfte über die Insel. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft. Allerdings sollte man gut zu Fuß sein und auch ein wenig belastbar. Der Zugang zum Hof ist schon ein wenig steil und es braucht ein wenig Geschick mit dem Auto. Die Unterkunft liegt in einem Dorf in dass ich eher seltener ein Tourist verirrt. Dennoch gibt es ein kleines Geschäft ähnlich eines Tante-Emma-Ladens in dem Grundnahrungsmittel aber auch leckere Desserts zu erwerben sind. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und möchten gern wieder auf diese schöne Insel.

Amazing experience through the nature and culture of Ikaria
We spent one week in Georgia's house. The house has everything one would need, it is warm and welcoming and it is surrounded by nature... The veranda outside is just wonderful and allows an amazing view on the countryside and the sea! However, the most important thing for us has been the exchange with Georgia, who is a really kind and interesting person! She gave us a lot of historical, cultural and natural informations about the island, and about the beautiful village of Akamatra (which is an authentic pearl). The stay in Georgia's house is highly recommended to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience through the culture and nature of Ikaria!!

Des vacances parfaites dans un véritable havre de paix
Nous avons passé 10 jours parfaits dans cette formidable maison idéalement placée au cœur d'Ikarie. La localisation permet de rayonner facilement sur l'île. La maison est située au calme, sur les hauteurs, ce qui garanti une certaine fraîcheur salutaire en période estivale (attention ça monte sévère en voiture pour atteindre la maison, accrochez vous !). Le cadre est bucolique, entre verdure et tomates cerises. Le magnifique village d'Akamatra est à 5 minutes à pied (petite supérette, bar, resto). Idéal pour faire une pause. Je ne peux terminer ce mot sans parler de Georgia, la propriétaire, qui a été absolument adorable. A l'écoute et riche de conseils (et de fraises de son jardin). Merci à toi nous reviendrons !

Gemütliches Haus mit toller Aussicht und supernetten Vermieterin
Der Urlaub auf Ikaria war super entspannend und ließ bei uns keine Wünsche offen. Die Vermieterin war sehr nett und aufgeschlossen in Hinblick auf unsere Wünsche und Fragen. Sie überraschte uns mit einem Korb voller Tomaten aus eigener Ernte und hatte viele Tipps für unsere Ausflüge in der näheren Umgebung. Das Haus ist sehr alt und durch Anbauten etwas verwinkelt. Für 4 Personen reicht der Platz definitiv, zumal man durch die Außenterassen zusätzlich an Platz gewinnt. Allerdings waren wir die meiste Zeit des Tages unterwegs und haben unser Domizil vorwiegend zum Schlafen genutzt. Wenn man etwas von der Insel sehen möchte macht es Sinn, sich ein Auto zu mieten. Wenn man die Hauptstraßen verlassen möchte, sollte es nicht der kleine Fiat Panda sein :) sondern ein geländegängiges Auto mit Allrad. Die Insel eignet sich definitiv für alle, die ihr Leben fernab der Touristenmeilen etwas entschleunigen wollen. Wir waren im Oktober dort - Wetter und Wasser einfach himmlich!!!
